The second day began with the news : Train is running late by 1.5 hours. Seems very normal, thanks to Indian railway. At around 10 am finally we reached NJP. We had a pre-booking for the tour. The driver was very punctual, and was waiting at NJP station from 7:30 am in the morning. You can book your cab and trip from NJP station also, but that's not preferable in my opinion.

Time to Take-offOn day 5 we were just roaming around the local markets at lal bazar and MG marg. We checkout of the hotel by 1 pm and our pickup was ready to drop us at NJP Railway Station. We reached at NJP by 5 pm. A lot of good memories we brought with us are to be missed. :-)This was all for our sikkim tour. As we planned for a short trip but we enjoyed a lot. Pelling and Gangtok has its own set of beauties . Due to land slides we cudnt make it to Changu lake, Baba Mandir and Nathula Pass as roads were closed since 3-4 days. Hopefull next time we will cover what we have missed.If you are going in a group of 4 people or more , maximum upto 12-13k will be sufficient per person or less than it as per your budget. So must visit and take the good memories.

DAY- 1Proceed towards the West - Pelling, SikkimWe started from NJP Railway Station by 11 am. If you want to come by flight then the nearest airport is Badgodra Airport which is 9 km away from Siliguri.&#160; You can always avail private taxis and shared taxis to Gangtok,&#160; Pelling and other local places. As it was my first trip to Hill Station so i was pretty excited as we moved towards high altitude.&#160; It was just amazing to watch those places,&#160; roads at high elevations.

We reached at about 8:30 in morning. We were surprised and happy to see the sunny weather. But when we came to know that the road to Gangtok is still jammed, we decided to off for Darjeeling with no hesitation and option as well.The ride from the NJP railway station to Darjeeling was smooth and relaxed. We took a halt at a Restaurant. Had some Momos , and it's not for the excitement, but those were one of the best Momos we ever have.
